{ IcDowel college) at that place. 1t was at
tle battle Of Fort Donelson, Feb IS, 1862,
that Gen. Tuttle won his chief distinction for
gallant conduct. The Second Iowa, which
he commanded, led the forlorn hope, and was
first within the enemy's works The tender
of this post Of honor was first made to several
other regiments and declined, and Gen Smith
then said to him: "Colonel, will you take
those works?'

- at the head of his regiment futile led the
largo and carried the Second Iowa over the
works and planted the first Union flag inside

in this assault but was able to stay with his
command, and took part with his regiment
at the battles at Corinth and Shiloh, at the
latter place commanding q brigade consist
ing OF the Second, Seventh, Twelfth ard
Fourteenth Iowa regiments. June 9, 1862,
he was commissioned brigadier general for
giant service in the field. During the fall
OF 1867 and the following winter he was in
command at Cairo, and in the spring of 1868
he was placed in command of the Third divi-
sion Of the Fifteenth army corps. He CON-
manded division during the campaign

ergy.
After the war Gen. Tuttle moved to Des
Molnes, and has been engaged in mining
and tile manufacture. He has been twice
elected to the legislature, the first time

al it was as the official representative of
Iowa soldiers that he protested against hav-
ing the president review the Grand Army at
St Louis, or take any part in the encampment
In recent interview Gen. Tuttle SAID that
the ground of his objection to Mr. Cleveland's
presence was the fact that civilians had al
ways heretofore been excluded from airy par

lieved that Mr. Cleveland's presence would
